Red and rock grouper

[jam05pr]

Hi everyone, this is my first post on this site. I was just looking through swf.com and ran accross a red and a rock grouper that are being offered for sale. Does anyone know anything about these two groupers. There is no information on them. Thanks.

you're gonna need a pretty big tank... i don't really know that much about them but i would say easily 200 gallons +

well that wont be a problem, I have a 6'x24"x30" which is a around 225. I just need some info on them since I have never seen them before.

Im not sure of the exact species of those two fish are, so hopefully some one can say. But most groupers grow large fast and need a stong filtration system because they are messy eaters and must choose tank mates carefully because they will eat anything they can fit in their mouths.

Well right now i have a volitan lionfish(4"-5"), blue jaw trigger(4"), niger trigger(3"), mexican dragon eel(~20"), clown sweetlips(I know bad choice of fish, but found out after I had bought it). I plan on getting a radiata lionfish within this upcoming week. I really would like a grouper but dont know if it would be a good choice. What other fish would people recommend. I know I am nearing my max capacity but would like to know.
